Mounting Device and Holders to AVA

AVA Phone Holder

The supplied phone holder can be screwed on and off as required. This phone holder can be moved manually up and down to point at different angles on the Y axis.
If, over time, the phone holder becomes too loose on the v axis, simply pry off the phone holder plastic caps by inserting a pin at a tiny hole at the 6 o’clock position on the protective caps. Once the caps are off, simply tighten the screw and push caps back in. AVA is compatible with any 3rd party phone holder (or device) which has a 1/4 screw thread.

Cameras

Be sure to check the weight of any camera before mounting It to AVA. The load limits are outlined In these instructions. Cameras mounted to AVA will only work with AVA’s manual control functions. If you want your mounted camera to benefit from AVA’s auto-tracking capabilities, you will need to purchase the EyeSite attachment module.

Android tablets and Wads can be mounted to AVA as long as they are within MA’s load limits. Be sure to purchase an appropriate iPad or tablet holder and take extra care when mounting both the iPad/tablet and holder onto AVA.
